“Oracle Business Accelerators are the preferred toolkit for rapid implementation requirements of industrial manufacturing companies.

“We are very excited to be a part of the Oracle Accelerate Program,” said Rocky Williams, Partner, Oil and Gas Practice of MarketSphere Consulting. “Today, oil and gas companies need to access information to support portfolio, cost, margin and capital management decision-making at all times. However, many cannot drive the information from their disparate systems. By leveraging our industry knowledge and Oracle products, we can integrate information from source systems, including IT, general ledger and field operations to drive needed insight. Our Oracle Accelerate solution provides companies in the industry the ability to view related data from disparate systems. This includes the ability to view data for any point in time across every area of the organization. Our clients are better able to identify and measure performance, drill down to well level and activity(voucher/invoice) detail, identify and track performance to projections of OPEX, AFE and G&A, better manage revenue and production measurement, and estimate, control, and manage spend to operating cash flow. The solution we offer is already designed and customized to allow oil and gas companies of all sizes, and with various transactional systems, to benefit from our EPM for O&G Accelerate Solution.”

These scalable solutions now address even more business challenges than ever before, but still will be of value to companies as they continue to grow.”
